...as now the system consider only album with above average # ratings, like on PA.
I can tweak that, let me know your final decision

I actually think 50 is a little excessive for the site right now. 10 - 20 was more the number range I had in my head.

I agree that the top 5 list should be decided by the number of ratings. I'd say 50 ratings would be fair for now. |

I have actually long had thoughts on how the top lists are decided, including those on the sub genre pages. Perhaps instead of doing it by year it could be decided by the number of ratings? An example, in folk metal an album with only six ratings is in the top 10: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/subgenre/folk-metal I personally think the album in question is a masterpiece that deserves to be there, but I also think it would make a more credible list if there was a bare minimum of ratings before a release got considered for inclusion there. Others subs have albums with even less ratings appearing in top lists.

Looks like the number of forum members got cut almost in half, but at least we get a better idea of how many legit members are here. I guess this was all part of the process.

The Front page MMA TOP 5 now only includes album released before 2012 (2011 and before)
to prevent new releases from gaining top places I've added a mention about this. What do you think about this ? Once we settle I will fix the link

There's an issue with the top albums list, it's different when you go here compared to what appears across the site. Note the Haken album in 3rd by following the link (which is where it was a few days ago, as if the bigger list has not updated).

First of all, thank you Max and Graphix for your hard work. The user list, it's...normal!
This new forum skin might take a bit of getting used to, but at least we aren't being bombarded with spam anymore. |

Possible issue: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=33598
We never had a guest account before, and this account has posts attached to it that pre-date it's creation. I have a horrible feeling that this has shown up to catch any orphaned posts due to the original account being deleted. I think one or possible more than one legit member was deleted.

Been digging into the upgraded admin panel.
I can confirm that the new anti-spam measures successfully blocked it's first bot about 50 minutes ago.

This is great news. Unfortunately I haven´t been and won´t be able to contribute in finding bugs right now. A few days ago my Family and I moved into our new house, so lots of unpacking to do...among other Things. I´ll contribute as soon as I can...Oh and I don´t have internet either for at least a week. So I´ll only be on at Work.
